Keynote 2: Smart-Sensing using Smart-Sensors

With the expansive usage of mobile devices and potential growth in the deployment of Internet of things, we will have proliferation of smart sensors in our handheld devices, wearables, and in our surroundings. Making sense out of the web of sensors is what we term as Smart-Sensing. Smart-Sensing would involve accurate and innovative sensing approaches while using minimal resources. In this talk, we will have an overview of a few approaches and novel ideas for Smart-Sensing using Smart-Sensors. Capturing the movement of fingers and hand gestures through accelerometer and gyroscope, we will develop the concept of finger-writing using smartwatches. Then we will explore how the WiFi APs can detect the movement of other devices at a fine granular level. Sensor assisted biometric authentication will be the next topic of our discussion. The last part of the talk will demonstrate the use of accelerometer for detecting voice and we will propose the use of this concept for saving energy consumption in smart devices. The talk will conclude with the summary of the potential scope and applications of Smart-Sensing environments.
